DOZENS of vehicles have been damaged at locations in Kingsteignton and Newton Abbot, police say.

Reports have been received of numerous cars affected at Crossley Moore, Kingsteignton and the Forde Park area of Newton Abbot.

In what police describe as ‘malicious’, the vehicles had been keyed and windows were smashed.

It is thought it may have been an attempt to steal sat navs which were left on display.

A police spokesman said: ‘Please remove all valuable from vehicles, mobiles, money and sav nats, including the cradle from the windscreen.’
